【诗82:8】神啊，求你起来审判世界，因为你要得万邦为业。【Psalm 82:8】Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance.

《诗篇》82篇背景是以色列司法体系彻底崩塌，手握权柄的审判官和官长们颠倒是非、偏袒恶人，社会最底层的孤儿寡妇饱受欺压。Psalm 82 is set against the background of the complete collapse of Israel’s justice system. The judges and rulers who held authority twisted right and wrong, favoured the wicked, and allowed the orphans and widows at the bottom of society to suffer severe oppression. 经文提到神在“诸神（Elohim，指地上审判官与掌权者）”中行审判。最令人震撼的是，主耶稣在《约翰福音》10:34中亲自引用这句话，不光是证实了旧约的这一解释，更是高度扩展了含义——在新约的信徒，更是领受神的话语的、有权柄的人！The passage describes God judging among the “gods” (Elohim, referring to earthly judges and rulers). What is most striking is that the Lord Jesus personally quoted this passage in John 10:34. He not only confirmed this Old Testament understanding, but also greatly expanded its meaning—under the New Covenant, believers are people who have received God’s Word and have been entrusted with authority! 主耶稣表明，我们这些真正承受神道、领受神话语和命令的人，被赋予了带着属灵权柄的尊贵身份（小写的gods），受差遣成为基督在世上的大使。The Lord Jesus showed that those of us who truly receive the Word of God, and receive His words and commands, have been given an honourable identity carrying spiritual authority (“gods” with a lowercase “g”) and have been sent out as Christ’s ambassadors in the world. 若我们空有这本该拥有的属灵权柄，却对神赐给我们的使命一无所知，活得与不信的人毫无分别，最终也会落在审判之下，难以在基督台前站立。If we have been given this spiritual authority but remain unaware of the mission God has entrusted to us, and live no differently from unbelievers, we too will ultimately come under judgement and struggle to stand before the judgement seat of Christ.

诗人亚萨仿佛被圣灵提到天上的至圣所，看到至高审判官“站立”在众神的会中行审判。The psalmist Asaph seems to have been lifted by the Holy Spirit into the heavenly Most Holy Place, where he saw the supreme Judge “standing” in the assembly of the gods to carry out judgement. 在古代法庭上法官通常坐着听审，但当神“站立”起来时，意味着案件调查终结，神已经忍无可忍，要亲自宣判了！ In ancient courts, judges normally sat while hearing a case, but when God “stands”, it means that the investigation is over, His patience has reached its limit, and He is about to pronounce judgement Himself! 在这首对公义发出强烈渴求的诗中，预言了一个终极盼望：耶稣基督必要亲自降临作王，得万国万邦为祂的产业，在地上恢复最初的公义与美好。This psalm, with its intense longing for justice, points towards an ultimate hope: Jesus Christ will personally return to reign, receive all nations and peoples as His inheritance, and restore the original justice and goodness of the earth. 主耶稣道成肉身来到地上，祂所施行的公义不仅关乎社会层面的公平，让穷人有房住、有饭吃、有福利等等…更指向属灵的终极救赎：When the Lord Jesus became flesh and came into the world, the justice He carried out was not limited to social fairness, such as ensuring that the poor had housing, food, and practical support… It pointed even more deeply to ultimate spiritual redemption: 传福音给贫穷的人，使被掳的得释放，瞎眼的得看见，叫那受压制的得自由（路4:18）。这才是公义的实质，其实现在于基督。那些至死忠心运用神话语权柄的人，当主再来时，必与祂一同作王。preaching good news to the poor, proclaiming freedom for captives, recovery of sight for the blind, and setting the oppressed free (Luke 4:18). This is the true heart of justice, and it is fulfilled in Christ. Those who faithfully exercise the authority of God’s Word even unto death will reign with Him when the Lord returns.

主啊，这需要被审判的世界不只在外面，更在我的内心！祢每天不仅看我外面有没有读经祷告、去教会服事，祢更求祢的真理每天审判并光照我的内心，看我如何对待生命中的“贫寒人、孤儿寡妇、困苦和穷乏人”。这些人没有关系背景，没有钱财贿赂，唯一的指望就是神。Lord, this world that stands under judgment is not only outside of me, but within my own heart as well. You do not merely look at whether I read the Scriptures, pray, or serve in church each day; rather, I ask that by Your truth You would examine and illuminate my heart daily. Search how I treat the “poor, the fatherless, the widow, and those who are afflicted and needy” in my life. These are those without influence or connections, without wealth to offer or bribes to give—their only hope is the Lord. 面对这些弱势群体，我的内心究竟如何？我有为他们流泪祷告呼求吗？作为新约里领受祢话语、本该带着属灵权柄的人，我有真正看重并运用这权柄去为他们塞住破口吗？What is truly in my heart towards these vulnerable people? Have I wept, prayed, and cried out for them? As someone who has received Your Word under the New Covenant and should carry spiritual authority, have I genuinely valued and used this authority to stand in the gap for them? 如果世上的审判官失职了，那手握神圣之道的我，又如何呢？If the judges of this world have failed in their duty, then what about me, who has been entrusted with the holy Word of God?

主耶稣，祢是我们公义与怜悯的终极榜样，压伤的芦苇祢不折断，将残的灯火祢不吹灭。祢说祢所拣选的禁食，不是宗教的仪式，而是要松开凶恶的绳，使被欺压的得自由；把饼分给饥饿的人，将飘流的穷人接到家中，见赤身的给他衣服遮体，顾恤自己的骨肉而不掩藏（赛58:6-7）。Lord Jesus, You are our ultimate example of justice and mercy. A bruised reed You will not break, and a smouldering wick You will not put out. You said that the fast You have chosen is not a religious ritual, but to loose the chains of wickedness, set the oppressed free, share food with the hungry, bring the wandering poor into one’s home, clothe the naked, and not turn away from one’s own flesh and blood (Isaiah 58:6–7). 主啊，当我读到这些话时，我求祢让我真正领受，这是祢对我灵魂的直接说话。Lord, when I read these words, please help me truly receive them as Your direct words to my soul.

愿我的内心在祢的审判中，彻底与主的怜悯和公义对齐！好让祢的极大应许完全成就在我身上：让我的光发现如早晨的光，所得的医治速速发明；让祢的公义在我的前面行，耶和华的荣光作我的后盾！May my heart, under Your judgement, be brought fully into alignment with the Lord’s mercy and justice! Then may Your great promises be completely fulfilled in me: may my light break forth like the morning, and my healing quickly appear; may Your righteousness go before me, and the glory of the Lord be my rear guard! 那时我求告，祢必应允；我呼求，祢必说“我在这里”！祢必时常引导我，在干旱之地使我心满意足，骨头强壮，让我像浇灌的园子，又像水流不绝的泉源。我就要以耶和华为乐，祢要使我乘驾地的高处，又以产业养育我！…(赛58:8-14) Then when I call, You will answer; when I cry out, You will say, “Here I am”! You will continually guide me, satisfy my soul in dry places, and strengthen my bones. You will make me like a well-watered garden and like a spring whose waters never run dry. Then I will delight myself in the Lord; You will cause me to ride on the heights of the earth and nourish me with my inheritance!… (Isaiah 58:8–14) 主啊，求祢起来审判世界，以祢的公平公义，治理并得着万国万邦为业！Lord, please arise and judge the world. Rule with Your justice and righteousness, and take all nations and peoples as Your inheritance!
